Matthew

Over the next forty days we will journey together through the Gospel of Matthew that we might center our hearts on Jesus.  Each day of Lent will include a short video devotional (4-7 minutes) given by one of our church members at the City Church Beijing International Christian Fellowship.

It is our hope that these devotionals will remind us of who Jesus is and why He came. 

Worship Him

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus' most inspiring and challenging description of the Christian counterculture. John Stott's teaching on this timeless text shows how its value system, ethical standard, religious devotion and network of relationships clearly distinguish it from both the nominal church and the secular world. 

Reading the Sermon on the Mount With John Stott

God is perfect and we are not. How do we continue to strive toward being more like Christ when we know we will continually fail? Let's look at Matthew 4 and 5 in the Streetlights New Testament.

How to Keep Going When I Fail

It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.



Paying Ridiculous Attention To Jesus

This 3-Day plan helps us unpack and recommit to the original intention of Christ for all disciples to take up their cross and follow him. Turning over our self-life to the one who can guide us on this journey called new life is the first step toward spiritual renewal and revival.

We will learn about mission from Jesus’ parables of the kingdom in Matthew 13. How do these parables apply to the task of global mission? What does Jesus say is God’s role and our role? We will be challenged to play our part in God’s mission to the world and to respond to his call to make disciples of all nations.

Matthew writes to God’s people and walks them on a journey that will take them from where they are to be Disciple Makers. This is the 2nd of 27 devotional plans walking us through the book of Matthew. Hearing God speak or doing what God requires is more difficult than we realise – because life can be complicated. Watch how people do it.
